Dad and Woodworking

I dont have a specific memory, but I always remember hearing the sound of the table saw going. Or when someone needed Dad for something you had to go out to the old garage (or new one), and there he would be with his blue apron, red ear covers, and his plastic glasses on.I remember brushing my socks off countless times, becuase you didnt want to put on your shoes...but afterwards you realized it would have been easier to put your shoes on. Ok, heres a memory. Not really a memory because I wasn't there...but I saw it when I was transposing the old family movies to DVD. It was when Dad and rachel were doing her...I dont know what to call it, crazy multi event project i.e. pulleys, ramps, levers... But in the video Dad is (as usual) getting really into the project and designing and cutting a wooden model that would make NASA designers tear up at the sight of it. Rachel is involved as much as she can, but a similar image is conjured in my mind of Molly wanting to help Shelley vacuum so Shelley puts Molly's hand onto the handle and while Shelley does the majority exclaims "Look Molly, you vacuumed really well!" ITs funny, the problem was we couldn't really do much, because there was so much technology involved that could maim us as children, so looking back I appreciate the involvement he could give us and doing the rest that we couldn't. Oh, and Dad supercharging Rachel's mousetrap racer into the Rat-trap bohemoth that could go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds flat.
